Josi’s Top Ten: Namibia

We have had so many adventures
already just in Namibia and we have really loved it. It is already hard to imagine what could possibly be our
top ten for our whole trip!Of the
things we experienced in Namibia this September, this would be my top ten – in
no particular order:

Himba
people: Such a beautiful & elegant tribe

Sossusvlei:
beautiful dunes at sunrise

Kaokoveld:
Van Zyls Pass to Okangwati – a true 4x4 track

The vast wilderness

Rock
engravings: from 2,000 to 6,000 years old. You could see they had drawn maps of
waterholes & where to find each animal when hunting. And they had taught their children spoors so
they could track animals. Fascinating.

Etosha
National Park: Herds of elephant, pride of lions, five
rhino…and that was all in just a few hours. Such
a treat.

Epupa
Falls: So much water and greenery after such a
long drive through desert is quite striking.

Spotting
animals on a “normal” drive – exhilarating and hard to stay calm. Binoculars were always at the ready.

Friendly
people, everywhere! There was always a smile or a wave for us
wherever we went. It felt like such a
welcoming country.
